Flint and I had a helluva time finding a toaster... not some contraption that cooked eggs, makes coffee and toastes a bagel... not some flashy futuristic thing that probably spoke better English than we do... just a fucking toaster... a plain simple toast with options of only light to dark and pops up when done toaster... a nice shiny metal toaster...
Aparently they don't make those anymore... they are all like $50 and up and replace half the kitchen gadgets we don't have and don't want taking up space on our counter.
My mom on the other hand still has the toaster that belonged to my grandparents when she went off to college... and she is now 61... it is the only toaster that has ever graced the threshold of that house... it still works... with all the advances in science instead of improvements we have disposable products at higher prices... built in obsolecense....
